This book re-examines the Greek Dioskouroi, Kastor and Polydeukes, exploring their roles in image, myth, and cult. Case studies focus on their homelands in myth - Sparta, Messene, and Argos - and areas where Greek mariners sought their protection. Findings suggest that, for the Greeks, the term 'Dioskouroi' may have held a specific votive meaning.
